Why is one of my deals removed?

This is the 3rd time (from three separate deals) within the last 5-7 days that some recent deals I have posted have been removed. Each deal was different and unique (though kind of similar), but I had people posting that it was a re-posted deal, etc., when it was not, and they just did not take the time to read the deal. These were legit 'free' deals from 90sec.com, so what is the reason? Can someone please explain. They were Grand Opening Deals leading up to a Grand Opening this week for a website offering Deal of the Day deals.

@tygerdave: I was wondering the same thing. Free advertising, Although I think using the woot logo with out permission could be an issue if they haven't asked. Is there a put woot on your website widgety thing?

@gtr4co5:

Ok. I really can't see the deal there.
Sign up for 3% off and get nothing.
Surely I missed something.

And where is all the "stuff"/mystery item we signed up for?? Not that I'm balking about not getting a free item; but this is pretty shoddy customer service to prove the viability of a new website. 15 day or so w/ no communication.

I'd like to see a filter somewhere in WOOT that prevents the posting of any deals from specific domain names. Whatdya think?? If there's already a script to check for duplicate deals, I can't see that adding in a "banned" domain name checker would be COMPLETELY out of the question.

WHOAH! I got my whole 5% discount finally approved off of the FIRST "[GOD1] Grand Opening Deal - Free to the first 100 people!(Free (one per customer))" of July 19.

I think I'll skip any future opportunity. 100 orders and it took THIS long to "flip a switch"? I'd hate to see how long it takes to actually ship a real product.

The discounts just got added because the website is now live with new deals.
Also, the deal is much better than you are mentioning.....it is 5% off any and every order for life with 90sec.com. That could be hundreds or thousands of dollars savings over time! Not to mention the fact that the items are already discounted!

Please check your spam folders, I know I found a few missed emails in there. =)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
